CO2 (carbon dioxide) has maximum bond angle.
- NH3 (ammonia) has sp³ central hybridisation. So, it has tetrahedral structure with a bond angle of 107.5°.
- H2O (water) also has central hybridization of sp³ but with 2 lone pairs of electrons. So, angle is 104.5°.
- CH4 (methane) also has sp³ hybridisation with least repulsion. So, its bond angle is 109°.
- Finally, CO2 has sp hybridization. So, it has linear structure and bond angle of 180°.
